Could it be Cyrillic? Ж & Б etc.? If German it could end ßelt as well; that first part's the bugger though Mit ßelt & Mit zelt could both sort of work...um...it depends on what's written above it and the idiom of the writer...any other details around it would be *infinitely* useful

I appreciate the responses and am sorry about not having given the context - I can see how that was not helpful, yet knowing the context might be part of what is getting in the way of me figuring out the word and I am hopeful that someone observing it outside of the box of the context might be able to see readily what it is. It is from a project list in my handwriting and mostly of composer last names with a few composition titles included. The line right above is Grieg but I don't know of any Grieg work with a title that ends in "eit" - there is "Eit Syn", Op. 33 no. 6, which begins with "eit". It looks like the final five characters might be "fseit".

To economize on time usually I write really fast whether it is words or music notation and don't worry about the appearance. At least it doesn't seem to be an abbreviated word or one with some vowels deliberately left out. You are are right, it does look a bit like Fraktur!

For me it takes a good amount of known words to get into someone's handwriting.

You have more lines of text of the same writer? (you??)

What's the price for the best bet?

There are sketches in cursive for some essay work - non-cursive seems to be reserved for lists and other non-expressive writing which is, though of forensic relevance, probably not of any other interest here such as in the case of grocery lists.

I can offer some free lessons on how to make print handwriting more legible for anyone who figures out the word. This might of course be a bit daft

I thought you said it was a list, so the non-cursive WOULD be the most relevant

I looked at the Lyric Pieces for something that ends in "t". Sie tanzt?

That is a wonderful piece of music - thanks for the effort. As Mark wrote, it probably isn't worth too much effort to figure out, although as the word should not be anything obscure it does seem a bit bizarre.
